Study of electron anti-neutrinos associated with gamma-ray bursts using KamLAND

Abstract

We search for electron anti-neutrinos (${\overline{\nu }}_e$) from long and short-duration gamma-ray bursts~(GRBs) using data taken by the KamLAND detector from August 2002 to June 2013. No statistically significant excess over the background level is found. We place the tightest upper limits on ${\overline{\nu }}_e$ fluence from GRBs below 7 MeV and place first constraints on the relation between ${\overline{\nu }}_e$ luminosity and effective temperature.
